Tribute to the late Gombloh - one of the most if not the MOST naturally gifted singer song writer & composer from Indonesia. The song 'Bulan Merah' written by Wisnu Padma - is from the Album Kebyar Kebyar considered to be one of Gombloh's best album compilation in the era of Lemon Trees Anno 69 the band he formed and fronted. I cannot comprehend the poetic message in the lyrics of Bulan Merah and the meaning of the title to this song as 'Bulan Merah' was never spoken in the lyrics. But I felt the music arrangement in Bulan Merah deeply haunting and surrealistic hence have included montages of scenes and paintings to bring up the visual emotion and connection to the song. Gombloh's soaring vocals was a perfect pitch making this song highly listenable. Wisnu & Ratih or Soelih lend the vocal backup to complete the full arrangement.
